CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. application Ser. No. 08/901,040, filed Jul. 25, 1997, pending.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The present invention provides naphthamidine compounds which inhibit the urokinase enzyme, pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds and medical methods of treatment using these compounds.

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0003] Urokinase (urinary-type plasminogen activator or UPA (International Union of Biochemistry classification number: EC3.4.21.31)) is a proteolytic enzyme which is highly specific for a single peptide bond in plasminogen. Plasminogen activation (cleavage of this bond by the urokinase enzyme) results in formation of plasmin, a potent general protease.

[0004] Many cell types use urokinase as a key initiator of plasmin-mediated proteolytic degradation or modification of extracellular support structures such as extracellular matrix (ECM) and basement membrane (BM). Cells exist, move and interact with each other in tissues and organs within the physical framework provided by ECM and BM. Movement of cells within ECM or across BM requires local proteolytic degradation or modification of the structures and allows cells to invade adjacent areas previously unavailable prior to the degradation or modification.

[0005] Cellular invasiveness intiated by urokinase is central to a variety of normal and disease-state physiological processes (Blasi, F., Vassalli, J. D., and Dano, K. J. Cell Biol. 104:801-804, 1987; Dano, K., Anderson, P. A., Grondahl-Hansen, J., Kristensen, P., Nielsen, L. S., and Skriver, L. Adv. Cancer Res. 44:139-266, 1985; Littlefield, B. A. Ann. N. Y. Acad. Sci. 622: 167-175, 1991; Saksela, O., Biochim. Biophys. Acta 823: 35-65, 1985; Testa, J. E. and Quigley, J. P. Cancer Metast. Rev. 9:353-367, 1990). Such processes include, but are not limited to, angiogenesis (neovascularization), bone restructuring, embryo implantation in the uterus, infiltration of immune cells into inflammatory sites, ovulation, spermatogenesis, tissue remodelling during wound repair and organ differentiation, fibrosis, tumor invasion, metastatic spread of tumor cells from primary to secondary sites and tissue destruction in arthritis. Amiloride, for example, a known urokinase inhibitor of only moderate potency, has been reported to inhibit tumor metastasis in vivo (Kellen, J. A., Mirakian, A. Kolin, A. Anticancer Res. 8:1373-1376, 1988) and angiogenesis/capillary network formation in vitro (Alliegro, M. C. and Glaser, B. M. J. Cell Biol. 115[3 Pt 2]: 402a, 1991).

[0006] Inhibitors of urokinase, therefore, have mechanism-based anti-angiogenic, anti-arthritic, anti-inflammatory, anti-retinopathic (for angiogenesis-dependent retinopathies), contraceptive and tumoristatic uses.

DETERMINATION OF UROKINASE INHIBITION

[0496] The efficacy of the compounds of this invention as urokinase inhibitors was determined by measuring the inhibition of the urokinase enzyme Abbokinase (Abbott Laboratories, Abbott Park, Ill.) on substrate S-2444, of formula pyroGlu-Arg-pNA-HCl (DiaPharma Group, Inc. Distributor of Chromogenix) at 200 μM.

[0497] The assay was performed in a 96 well polystyrene, flat bottom plate in a 50 mM Tris/0.15 M NaCl+0.5 % Pluronic F-68 (Sigma P-5556), pH 7.4 (with HCl) buffer. The compounds of this invention, 10 mM in DMSO, were diluted with DMSO to eight half log concentrations, for example: 1200 μM, 400 μM, 120 μM, 40 μM, 12 μM, 4 μM, 1 μM and 0.4 μM. Four concentrations were chosen, then 5 μl of each were diluted to a total assay volume of 200 μl. The final compound concentrations in the assay, according to the above example, were 30 μM, 10 μM, 3 μM, 1 μM, 0.3 μM, 0.1 μM, 0.03 μM and 0.01 μM, respectively. The substrate S-2444 was used at 200 μM in the assay. Several vials were reconstituted as directed on the vial, aliquoted and stored frozen. The enzyme was further diluted in assay buffer and 10 μl was used in the assay. Enzyme concentration in the assay was 2-3 nM. The assay was performed as follows: 175 μL of buffer was pipetted into the polystyrene plate, 5 μL solution of a compound of this invention in DMSO was added, the mixture was vortexed, 10 μL of enzyme in buffer was added, the mixture was vortexed, 10 μL of substrate in water was added, the mixture was vortexed, and the plate was placed in a Spectromax® (Molecular Devices Corporation, Sunnyvale, Calif.) plate reader to follow the course of the reaction for 15 min at 405 nm. The Spectromax® calculated the reaction rates which were used to calculate percent inhibition of the compounds of this invention versus the reaction rate of the enzyme in the absence of any inhibitor. The Ki's of the inhibitors were calculated from the percent inhibition and previously established Km. The compounds of this invention inhibit urokinase as shown by the data for representative examples in Table 1.

Pharmaceutical Compositions

[0498] The present invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions which comprise compounds of the present invention formulated together with one or more non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. The pharmaceutical compositions may be specially formulated for oral administration in solid or liquid form, for parenteral injection or for rectal administration.

[0499] The pharmaceutical compositions of this invention can be administered to humans and other animals orally, rectally, parenterally, intracisterually, intravaginally, intraperitoneally or topically (such as powders, ointments or drops), bucally or as an oral or nasal spray. The term “parenteral” administration, as used herein, refers to modes of administration which include intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intrasternal, subcutaneous and intraarticular injection and infusion.

[0500] Pharmaceutical compositions of this invention for parenteral injection comprise pharmaceutically acceptable sterile aqueous or nonaqueous solutions, dispersions, suspensions or emulsions as well as sterile powders for reconstitution into sterile injectable solutions or dispersions just prior to use. Examples of suitable aqueous and nonaqueous carriers, diluents, solvents or vehicles include water, ethanol, polyols (such as glycerol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol and the like), and suitable mixtures thereof, vegetable oils (such as olive oil) and injectable organic esters such as ethyl oleate. Proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of coating materials such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersions and by the use of surfactants.

[0501] These compositions may also contain adjuvants such as preservative, wetting agents, emulsifying agents and dispersing agents. Prevention of the action of microorganisms may be ensured by the inclusion of various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, paraben, chlorobutanol, phenol sorbic acid and the like. It may also be desirable to include isotonic agents such as sugars, sodium chloride and the like. Prolonged absorption of the injectable pharmaceutical form may be brought about by the inclusion of agents (such as aluminum monostearate and gelatin) which delay absorption.

[0502] In some cases, in order to prolong the effect of the drug, it is desirable to slow the absorption of the drug from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This may be accomplished by the use of a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous material with poor water solubility. The rate of absorption of the drug then depends upon its rate of dissolution which, in turn, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed absorption of a parenterally administered drug form is accomplished by dissolving or suspending the drug in an oil vehicle.

[0503] Injectable depot forms are made by forming microencapsule matrices of the drug in biodegradable polymers such as polylactide-polyglycolide. Depending upon the ratio of drug to polymer and the nature of the particular polymer employed, the rate of drug release can be controlled. Examples of other biodegradable polymers include poly(orthoesters) and poly(anhydrides). Depot injectable formulations are also prepared by entrapping the drug in liposomes or microemulsions which are compatible with body tissues. The injectable formulations can be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacterial-retaining filter or by incorporating sterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions which can be dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other sterile injectable media just prior to use.

[0504] Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, powders and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active compound is mixed with at least one inert, pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or carrier such as sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate and/or a) fillers or extenders such as starches, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol and silicic acid; b) binders such as carboxymethylcellulose, alginates, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidone, sucrose and acacia; c) humectants such as glycerol; d) disintegrating agents such as agar-agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates and sodium carbonate; e) solution retarding agents such as paraffin; f) absorption accelerators such as quaternary ammonium compounds; g) wetting agents such as cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate; h) absorbents such as kaolin and bentonite clay and i) lubricants such as talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl sulfate and mixtures thereof. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage form may also comprise buffering agents. Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols and the like.

[0505] The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulating art. They may optionally contain opacifying agents and may also be of a composition such that they release the active ingredient(s) only, or preferentially, in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally or in delayed fashion. Examples of embedding compositions which can be used include polymeric substances and waxes.

[0506] The active compounds may also be in micro-encapsulated form, if appropriate, with one or more of the above-mentioned excipients.

[0507] Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups and elixirs. In addition to the active compounds, the liquid dosage forms may contain inert diluents commonly used in the art such as water or other solvents, solubilizing agents and emulsifiers such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, dimethyl formamide, oils (in particular, cottonseed, groundnut, corn, germ, olive, castor, and sesame oils), glycerol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycols and fatty acid esters of sorbitan and mixtures thereof.

[0508] Besides inert diluents, the oral compositions may also include adjuvants such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, sweetening, flavoring and perfuming agents. Suspensions, in addition to the active compounds, may contain suspending agents such as ethoxylated isostearyl alcohols, polyoxyethylene sorbitol and sorbitan esters, microcrystalline cellulose, aluminum metahydroxide, bentonite, agar-agar, and tragacanth and mixtures thereof. Compositions for rectal or vaginal administration are preferably suppositories which can be prepared by mixing the compounds of this invention with suitable non-irritating excipients or carriers such as cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol or a suppository wax which are solid at room temperature but liquid at body temperature and therefore melt in the rectum or vaginal cavity and release the active compound.

[0509] Compounds of the present invention can also be administered in the form of liposomes. As is known in the art, liposomes are generally derived from phospholipids or other lipid substances. Liposomes are formed by mono- or multi-lamellar hydrated liquid crystals which are dispersed in an aqueous medium. Any non-toxic, physiologically acceptable and metabolizable lipid capable of forming liposomes can be used. The present compositions in liposome form can contain, in addition to a compound of the present invention, stabilizers, preservatives, excipients and the like. The preferred lipids are the phospholipids and the phosphatidyl cholines (lecithins), both natural and synthetic. Methods to form liposomes are known in the art, for example, Prescott, Ed., Methods in Cell Biology, Volume XIV, Academic Press, New York, N.Y. (1976), p. 33 et seq.

[0510] Dosage forms for topical administration of a compound of this invention include powders, sprays, ointments and inhalants. The active compound is mixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and any needed preservatives, buffers or propellants which may be required. Opthalmic formulations, eye ointments, powders and solutions are also contemplated as being within the scope of this invention.

[0511] Actual dosage levels of active ingredients in the pharmaceutical compositions of this invention may be varied so as to obtain an amount of the active compound(s) that is effective to achieve the desired therapeutic response for a particular patient, compositions, and mode of administration. The selected dosage level will depend upon the activity of the particular compound, the route of administration, the severity of the condition being treated and the condition and prior medical history of the patient being treated. However, it is within the skill of the art to start doses of the compound at levels lower than required for to achieve the desired therapeutic effect and to gradually increase the dosage until the desired effect is achieved. Generally dosage levels of about 1 to about 50, more preferably of about 5 to about 20 mg, of active compound per kilogram of body weight per day when administered orally to a mammalian patient. If desired, the effective daily dose may be divided into multiple doses for purposes of administration, e.g. two to four separate doses per day.
